Japanese boxer formerly on death row attends pope’s Mass.
ese professional boxer who spent 48 years in prison for murders he says he did not commit was among some 50,000 people greeting Pope Francis as he entered Tokyo Dome stadium to celebrate Mass on Monday.
Hakamada was in the crowd as Francis waved and kissed babies while circling the crowd in his vehicle ahead of the service. Hakamada was convicted of the 1966 murder of his boss at a soy bean paste maker and the man’s wife and two children. He was sentenced to death in 1968. Japan, the United States and South Korea are the only nations in the OECD group of developed economies that have the death penalty. The U.S. in recent years has carried out executions in only a handful of states. South Korea has not had one in more than a decade. Japan carried out 15 executions last year, up from four the year before.
